Description:

The Copperband Butterfly features distinctive yellow-orange vertical bands edged in black and a unique false eyespot on its dorsal fin, making it easily recognizable. Ideal for large, peaceful reef tanks, this species should be kept alone to avoid territorial conflicts. While caution is advised due to its tendency to nip at invertebrates like anemones and feather dusters, it excels at controlling aiptasia and glass anemones, making it a valuable addition for experienced aquarists managing reef health.
